Ether Dome at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Pete explains how a famous story about "A Famous Candy" is based on this famous site!

We will walk around its perimeter and admire the stunning townhouses. Famous Politicians, Businessmen and Hollywood Actors are part of the lore of this stunning square!
Acorn Street. Cited as the "most photographed street in America," Its cobblestones and gas lamps make it feel like a step back in time. Get ready with your camera!
